Summary

Sedalia Elementary is a K–5 neighborhood school at 5400 Sedalia Dr in Columbus, OH (43232), serving about 530 students — the largest of the four Groveport Madison Local elementaries compared here — in a high-need community where roughly 73% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2023–24.

For 2025–2026, Sedalia ranks 919th of 1,560 Ohio schools (41st percentile, 2 stars), making it the top performer in its immediate cluster: the district sits in the bottom quarter of Ohio districts, and nearby Madison Elementary School, Dunloe Elementary School, and Asbury Elementary School all rank between 1,069th and 1,186th (24th–31st percentile). Sedalia beats its district on 6 of 7 tested subjects and matches or beats the state average in 5th grade math (67.6% proficient, 26 points above the district) and 5th grade science (63.5%). Its seven-measure average is about 59.9%, versus 52.5% for the district and 63.8% statewide. The clear soft spot is early literacy: 3rd grade ELA (51.8%) is roughly 12 points below the state, and 4th grade ELA (47.9%) is the one measure where it trails its own district.

Attendance is the most dramatic gain: chronic absenteeism fell from 33.1% in 2022–23 to 19.9% in 2025–26 — best in the district cluster and about half the rate at nearby Woodcrest Elementary School, Liberty Elementary School, and Oakmont Elementary School in Columbus City Schools District. Low-income students now rank 56th percentile (3 stars), up from 47th three years ago. The biggest concern is special education, where results have declined three years running to the 7th percentile (0 stars). Class sizes are the smallest of the four Groveport Madison elementaries, at 19.3 students per teacher. Overall, this is a school outperforming its district and its neighbors, with early-grades reading and special education as the areas to watch.
